S63 Coupe Seat Width

Hello all thank you in advance to any who respond. TLDocument Review - : My R231 SL 550 seats are perfect. I'm wondering whether the S63 has wider sport seats.

I am selling an old (2013 / R231) SL 550 and getting and SL63 (R231) or an S63 Coupe. I cannot find an S63 nearby, so I am going to have to fly to inspect the one I'm interested in. The only potential issue I foresee is seat width. I thought I'd find out what I could before taking that flight.

Thanks in advance

You need to ask in the SL R231 section
normal seats and AMG seats are different, AMG have more side bolster Very comfortable but i dont know if they are different size, I doubt it

Thanks okbarnett. I'm looking to find out if the S63 seats are too wide. I like a tighter fit. You have been super helpful for my questions.

I thought it said you wanted a Sl63. So the Sl are definitely smaller than a S seat The S is bigger and more comfortable. They have side bolsters but not as hard to get in and out of. But I dont have a sl to measure

That's my fault. I was trying to explain that I currently have an SL 550 and I know how the seats fit - they're pretty much perfect. I am considering moving to either an SL63 or an S63 Coupe. The S63 is my preference. But, I used to have a 2015 BMW 650i and the seats were too wide to be comfortable (I'm about 5'7 and a 30-31 waist). I'm a little concerned that the S63 seats would also be too generous to be comfortable, but I'll have to travel pretty far to experience the seats in an S63 coupe. So I was trying to get opinions on whether the S63 seats would be significantly wider than SL63 seats.

S is definitely bigger but you can squeeze the bolsters and adjust them. I would say you will like them. They are bigger and longer and more adjustable than a sl. And this is a big interior compared to a sl. And a much bigger car. I got out of a sl to be able to have more room and comfort
the bottom cushion is 12 1/2'' wide and the back is 11 1/2 " wide

The seats are large, but they're comfortable and I didn't find that I slid around in them. They seem to cradle you sufficiently, but they definitely don't feel like sport racing bucket seats. They also don't feel like truck seats (Ram/F150 etc) where they're large but fairly "flat" where you do slide around in them.

But that's just my opinion.

Viper98912: thank you as well. Would you mind telling me if you are of a similar size (5'7, 165-170 lbs)?
